Who's in Meghan Markle's Inner Circle? See Her Powerful Squad of BFFs

Markus Anderson: The Mutual Friend

A figure who is often by Meghan's side is the man she refers to as her dogs' "uncle." The Ontario-born Soho House Group consultant started out as a waiter at the boho-chic members club in London before working his way up to global membership director and then consultant. He met Meghan when he moved to Toronto in 2012 to set up a branch of the club there, once saying of his role, "When Soho House decides to open in a new city, I'm one of the first people sent out to get to know the city, the creatives that live there, and determine who we want to involve in the house."

Meghan and Markus have traveled the world together and often act as each other's dates for media events and weddings. Markus also knows Prince Harry, and was in the VIP box with Meghan and Harry at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games. Meghan and Markus were spotted grabbing dinner together during her visit to NYC in February.
